So everyone knows people love to judge and comment on what pregnant women do. Well screw that, let's hear what you've done "wrong", unpopular options, whatever the hell you want to bitch about people weighing in on!

Although please try and keep it judgement free as this is just a lighthearted post to make us all feel a little bit better in an option laden time. Halo

I'll start.....today I over indulged on coffee and stole a few mouthfuls of my boyfriends beer. And it was glorious Brew

Someone will be judgemental lol. It's gonna happenGrin
I drank half a bottle of tequila in my first pregnancy.
To be fair I was only 4 weeks, hadn't tested and had no idea
It's how I ended up testing because I fainted from it

I'm eating a lot of takeaways and a lot of crap. 😬😬 feel all guilty about it!!

BeHappyAndSmile · 07/05/2020 21:37

Oh I know haha, but a girl can hope!

I think you get a pass for yours 😂 but good effort! 1 tequila is too much tequila for me

I drank nothing but full sugar Pepsi for 3 months. (Hyperemesis sufferer and it's all I could keep down Grin)

I had a cheese & onion roll for breakfast today. Again, all I could stomach.

I am 36+5 and fed up, I have vomited all day every day throughout my pregnancy and literally do not care about eating healthily anymore, I dont even attempt it I just eat whatever I can! Hmm

During my first pregnancy i craved sponges but only chewed them. Im very much finding it hard to resist wanting to actually eat them this time round.

Yes actual kitchen sponges. I told DH we were out the other day so he'd buy another pack!

OlivejuiceU2 · 07/05/2020 22:00

Definitely overdoing the sweet treats and not exercising like I should. Midwife said it’s fine though and no ones perfect throughout pregnancy.

jaffaa · 07/05/2020 22:01

I've been drinking red bulls throughout my pregnancy😖

skinnyhotchoc · 07/05/2020 22:06

Yesterday I ate cheesecake with both whipped cream and pouring cream as my main meal. I have also drank a lot of full sugar lilt for the past two days.

BeHappyAndSmile · 07/05/2020 22:13

Oh you guys are definitely making me feel better! I can't remember the last time I stayed under the caffeine recommendation 🙈 and full sugar lemonade has taken over water as my main liquid intake. First baby as well so I'm supposed to neurotic about this aren't I?! Sadly its not having the wonderful health impact I thought it would have on my diet haha.

I drank full fat coffee and real coffee every day but stayed just under the caffeine limit.

AldiAisleOfCrap · 07/05/2020 22:15

Full fat coke!

Mine was discussing an elective C Section due to my severe anxiety.
My god, was I ripped to pieces!
I got told I shouldn't be a mom if I didn't want to give birth 'properly' to my child!
Er....... my choice love, so fuck off!
I also over indulge on the sweet treats. In my defence I've been isolating for 8 weeks since Boris told us that pregnant women should stay at home!

itsnotcakeitsbaby · 07/05/2020 22:23

I've been eating so much chocolate, also drinking diet soda Shock

Got reeeeally drunk early on before I knew. Oops.

LilianBarros · 07/05/2020 22:24

I’ve been eating nothing but blueberry muffins and salt and vinegar hula hoops for the past two weeks! Grin

grace1991 · 07/05/2020 22:26

I had a rum punch today in the sun. Felt terrible afterwards but my god it was amazing

xxxemzyxxx · 07/05/2020 23:09

Red bull drinker here as well - I was so good during the 1st trimester - now nearly 19 weeks and that has gone out the window, have returned to my very early morning red bull on working days.

BeMorePacific · 07/05/2020 23:13

Someone sent a gift for my baby, it was a very cute newborn vest. I looked at it and asked my husband “who is that for?”
I’m the one who keeps forgetting she’s pregnant.. oops 😬

Saraj09876 · 08/05/2020 11:51

I drink a zero calorie monster in the morning! They are 140mg of caffeine so have been careful to limit any other intake but all the crap that goes into them ahhhh!

Makeuptherules · 08/05/2020 11:58

I have a small drink every Sunday with lunch and will continue to do so as I did with my last pregnancy

Makeuptherules · 08/05/2020 11:59

Oh and I never bother counting what caffeine I have. I know I don't go wild but to actually limit to 200mg is odd, like what changes after that exact figure haha

zscaler · 08/05/2020 12:01

I only started taking folic acid once I was actually pregnant Confused

babyt2020 · 08/05/2020 12:03

I started off switching to decaf everything but I'm now back to 2 coffees a day as I'm soooo tired. I also spend wayyyyyyy too much time in bed! I did try to battle against my spd pain and tiredness at first by going out walking but now I'm thoroughly enjoying being a right lazy, sugar munching, crisp guzzling slob for a little while! I do eat loads of fruit and veg as well but a lot of shite in between!

ZsaZsaMc · 08/05/2020 12:06

When is it acceptable to have a glass of wine?

LillianFullStop · 08/05/2020 12:12

Zero exercise. A lot of chocolate (including sneaking spoonfuls of Nutella out of the jar). Weak but not decaf coffees.

Britishgurl123 · 08/05/2020 12:15

Takes a monster and painkillers to feel human (30 weeks atm with my second) and with my last pregnancy I was living on painkillers to the extent where I had forgotten I'd taken one, so my partner gave me more and we had to call an ambulance because I was so lightheaded. Imagine 5 ambulance workers standing around you explained you just took too many paracetamol Blush
